Counterside Noise

Touched by the metal fingers

Get that tingling feeling, it's a prod of metal straight to the face with a classic touch of Iron Man reaching out for some of that malt liquor love.

Touched by an alcoholic

Naturally, with an alcohol limit pretty much on the verge of 0.8 every other hour during those years back in the hey day, it's an amazing thing he hasn't been buying up big on the livers with his fortunes.

Clobberin' time

This man, this monster! Well, not really from that seminal Fantastic Four cover. More on the action shot of Ben Grimm though.

Clobberin' time

A rush of rocky blood to the right and it's another one of those hot shot statues from the studios of Hard Hero.

Two superheroes enter a ring...

Flying in and burning a few minutes of mindless clicking, Super Hero Fight answers no real questions and serves no major purpose.

Nothing beyond the call of seeing which Marvel character would win in a fight against another Marvel character. An endless tourney where there is no ladder and the results are always shown before the chance to click blindfolded.

Disclaimer on the site says that there are DC people flitting about. Damn it if the images aren't all from the red guys though.

No licking action for the stamped DC superheroes

Poor form from the United States Postal Service. Issued stamps featuring super heroes and comic book covers from the DC Comic Universe not the kind to lick up a storm.

Spending twenty minutes on the phone to the Stamp Fulfillment centre, probably at 22:30 in the US (Central or Pacific time, no idea), made no difference in the news.

Sadly, all those time poor in the world are making the gum-backed stamps an increasing rarity. Moved over in favour of the self-adhesive abominations. Good for quick posting, bad, seriously bad for serious die hard collectors. Comics or philatelists the like.

Still, if talking with the operator shows up any glimmer of hope, it's possible paying through the left nostril for an uncut sheet may yield favourable results.

Rachet and clanks

From Kotobukiya and the Dark Horse people, little boxes filled with Robocop mini models. (Though models are small by nature, otherwise they'd be full-scale.)

Rachets and clanks

Robocop Mk II, the kind of law enforcement getting high on nuke every chance it can.

Damn you! Damn you all to hell!

Tom Cruise ain't looking outside the walls into the world much these days. Not since the birth of Suri with Katie Holmes holed up in some bunker. And yet they still make much on the covers of the women's magazines.

Damn you, Tom Cruise!

Dip it in red, it's the Lord of Darkness from the film, Legend. The one starring Cruise, Mia Sara and Tim Curry.
